Many thanks to Diablo 4 for introducing me to Path of Exile.

Hey man, just a quick message, your videos are exactly what YouTube was made for. Quick, easy to digest and full of vital information. I just watched a video that covered everything you just covered, but it was an hour long. You're a legend. Subbed, keep them coming. x

[kmoustakas]

This video is actually pretty good. This is the sort of video people who want to start want to see, not details about future future league

[cannedshoes]

I have to pop in to this year-old video to say that you clearly have great theory of mind. Information presented in the right order, with just the right amount of detail. Incredibly easy to digest. Many thanks.

I went for an elementalist witch (lightning focused) and I am having a blast. The arch chains through enemies and decimates them with all the lightning buffs.

Personally I have chosen the duelist, since I would love to build a powerful warrior who is also able to summon some minions, and even though I am a beginner I've already found some tools that suite me! I really look forward to discovering more and more things about this game.

[Gojofaded]

anyone else think the skill tree has the appearance of the worlds most complicated periodic table

[allamer]

Ty for this great video, getting tired of D4 and have been looking to start this game again. Played it on steam like 7 years ago. Great overview.

[toriknorth]

I'm really happy that I started out poe with a necro build. I'm not that great with reflex-heavy games so having a dozen or two minions means I can play poe more like a looting sim

[DrPebis]

You had my attention with the duelist thanks for the guide

[roflswamp]

Easily one of the best videos on poe ever made

[gaahinalover]

skips over the only one I'm actually interested in xD she gets soooo little attention x3

I always play cod, assassins creed and other game series. This was free! So I said why not give this game a chance. Some friends said try it and I’m lost. But hey new to me but it can be awesome experience to play different games. Sorta reminds me of the game “ gauntlet dark legacy “ with the characters n etc .. great info!!!! Definitely helped me to pick the character I wanted to try.

[Ehx]

This is a great video man, thank you. You deserve way more subs and views. I hope you blow up in the coming years, especially with the player base growing.

[toddwilliams]

all this said, one of my favorite troll builds is my Cyclone Elementalist (Witch)
Struggles with anything over T6 maps, but the journey there is a blast. Might re-roll this build later in this league.

[michaelnewell]

brand new player here tried witch didnt like it now ive gone for maurader and going to go full tank thanks

[Morganaplays]

i find toxic rain very begginer friendly because only 4 link(mirage archer toxic rain void mani supp and vicous projectiles and in glove balista totem support vicous projec void mani and withering touch and some aura skills for more damage) is needed for the the leveling

[MordimersChessChannel]

I didn't know to change LPM to walk only, as I accidently found out that SHIFT keeps me in place... so I mastered pushing SHIFT and ALT in right moments and that became my habit and can't unlearn it, lol :D

[shainemurray]

Been playing around in act 1 with different classes Templar is definitely the what I’m sticking with thanks for the help!

[LordUrfael]

Ah, Path of Exile. The game I have technically completed once and have over 350 hours spent in, and yet I still feel like a complete beginner. Any tips for how to better understand the skills and trees in this game? Every build I try to make myself ends up as a boring one skill spam character.
